Oh THAT'S why you're so easily res capped, you're using a Ventor's.

Okay, that makes sense, I was wondering how the hell you pulled it off "easily."

Level your clarity a few more times, that'll help. Trust me, you won't be reserving too much, I have mine levelled as high as I can take it with my gear.

That'll be part of it and the other part is probably that you're using CA a bit more like a traditional bow skill instead of firing one or two arrows into a pack.

The cloud has a pretty decent duration, let it do the work for you.

I have to set off about six consecutive shots before I run out of mana.

For half a second.

Then I can fire more arrows.

So yeah, you're probably using it way too much.


Fyi, I was res capped before Ventors. I have all res on almost every jewel.

I think the biggest part was constant firing, I'm reworking my playstyle and it is helping. My new amulet is a huge boon as well, with all the regen.
Is this build viable, for standard league??

I'm running this on Standard, yes it works very nicely.

Of course... I can't sell shit on standard. So I live from "big find" to "big find" and on alteration sales. ;/

Hell yes. Check out my scion. All funded from this very build.
Just a "heads up" for those pursuing Talisman league challenges...

The new 10-set divination card, Prosperity, was released in patch 2.1.1c.
Spoiler


Prosperity drops in the Shore map and has a moderate drop rate - about one-in-three or perhaps one-in-two runs will net you a card. The drop rate seems pretty streaky though. I'd get 2 in one map and then a run of 6 maps with no cards.

The reward for turning in the Prosperity set is a blue ring with pretty nice rarity
Spoiler


You can master craft the ring to add a bit more rarity if you want.

I don't see this competing with the unique magic-find rings... but perhaps they'll find temporary use for magic finders as they build up resists/funds to afford better alternatives.
It's a nice way to get some MF early in a league, or to craft MF rings, but strictly from an MF purist standpoint, not worth it.

Probably VERY nice for hardcore variants of builds like this though. Regal a useful affix then multimod and craft the rest on.

Well, I still haven't found a Cartographer's lockbox.

But, I've got my lucky Vaal Orb with me! Vaaly, I call him.

You might of said it in the post, but i cant find it. Is slower proj more dps then VM?
Hi Serleth:

A small (hopefully) request...

Could you record a video (say of an Arena or Springs clear since you recorded those for Warbands) to show off the Talisman version of Poison - er, Caustic - Arrow?

I think this might be valuable for folks trying to decide how much better/worse/different CA is now as compared to the old PA.

Thanks!

Other way around. VM > SP.

Do you want a completely finished build (lvl 95, Empower 4, CA 21, etc, Standard). or the Talisman build I'm using right now (RD instead of Empower, lvl 90)?
